And the Best Winery Blog is….
The dream is over. I came to Walla Walla, Washington, to attend at the Wine Bloggers Conference. If you remind, the winners of the Wine Blog Awards, for which we were nominated for Best Winery Blog, would be revealed during the first day of the conference. This is what happened this afternoon. Although I really [...]
Presenting a documentary about Quevedo in New York

Fungus developing inside a broken bottle of Quevedo LBV 2003
Anyone has any idea of what is this on the photo? This is one of the most interesting things I learnt in the last weeks. I’ll explain where this comes from. We were preparing two of the four remaining pallets of LBV 2003 to send to Denmark when we found a purple stain on the [...]

1960 Vintage Port Tasting in London – the first good harvest of the great 60s
A couple of weeks ago I attended one of those tastings of Port Wine that I have been dreaming of for a long time. Tom Archer, a Port Wine enthusiast from the UK, who would be 50 on May 2010, was the perfect excuse for the members of The Port Forum set up a tasting of [...]
Quevedo was founded in 1991 as a family owned business in the heart of the Douro valley, responding to the needs of the generations that preceded the associate founders. These ancestors were passionately dedicated to their vineyards and to the culture that surrounded the production of wine. Consequently, the company was created as a seamless marriage between the initial phase of production and the promotion and selling of their wines. Currently, the estate is comprised of 100 hectares located in the regions of Cima-Corgo and Douro Superior, producing both red and port wines from only the five traditional port grapes Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão and Tinta Barroca.
